Music in Evangelism
A vision is similar to a parable in many ways. It spells out what will happen to the people in a descriptive form. Zechariah sees a flying scroll,1 four chariots,2 and even a woman in a basket.3 Behind the picture is a very clear message for the listener.
Music
One of the most effective mediums for the Christian message is music. How about "O for a thousand tongues to sing my great redeemer's praise..." or "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me" The words alone evoke thoughts of God, providing moments of splendor in worship. The prophets used music in order to convey spiritual truth. David, apart from overseeing the masterly book of Psalms, sat down with two other prophets, Nathan and Gad, to arrange the Temple worship. Years later, King Hezekiah followed these same written instructions for the ordering of worship. Levites were stationed in the Temple with harps and cymbals, priests had trumpets and as the offering began so did the music with all the people singing praise unto God.4 Yes, music in evangelism has its place.
